A successful recovery requires an great deal of effort from the individual who wants to recover. In fact, recovery isn't possible unless the individual involved truly wants to recover and is willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish that. The assistance of others only works when the individual involved commits to following the program perscribed to him/her by those who stand-by to help.

Any carpenter or handyman will tell you that if you want to do the job right you must use the proper tools. This statement also holds true when the job at hand is recovery from addiction and compulsive behaviors.
The single most important tool for recovery is a willing attitude based on a commitment to do "whatever it takes" to change. Doing "whatever it takes" involves surrender to a wide variety of activities as determined by others who will direct your efforts. You are not qualified to direct your own recovery.
